Koretzky's S-Works Epic 8 becomes the rainbow this Saturday

The Frenchman Victor Korétzky won the XCC World Championship a few days ago in Andorra and as is tradition, his team, Specialized Factory Racing, has prepared an Epic 8 to match his rainbow jersey for the Short Track races.

The new Epic 8 from Koretzky for the Short Tracks looks like it just came down from heaven

Koretzky will sport this spectacular S-Works Epic 8 rainbow in the Short Track races

The new Specialized Epic 8 was introduced this year as the brand's commitment to bring this model back to the forefront of XCO. To achieve this, they ended the BRAIN system, and now it features the Flight Attendant system of intelligent suspensions, completely updated the frame, and left the 120mm of rear travel as the only option. Here you can read all about the new model and check out all the prices of the Epic 8 range.

The aggressive angle of the stem and the Blips shifter controller that Koretzky uses to control the transmission are common in the Frenchman's setups

But going back to this unique edition, Specialized has completely customized the frame and fork of the Epic 8 with which we assume Koretzky will compete in the Short Track races at least this season. The bright white covers everything, and on top of it, the UCI rainbow stands out in the head tube and fork area.

A geometric rainbow stands out in the SID SL ULTIMATE Flight Attendant fork and in the front part of the head tube
Reverb AXS seatpost, XX SL Eagle AXS drivetrain, and ULTIMATE Flight Attendant suspensions. The best of SRAM and Rock Shox in a World XCC Champion bike
